One night a long time ago I fell ill. I got some viral rhinitis, cough, fever and all that jazz. I was miserable. I do not necessarily like to be taken care of, I left home because of independence issues. My parents decided so much of my life I was a little crippled alone. But, snapped out of it.
So...ill, was dating this gorgeous lady at the time. A girl so great she shocked me at almost every meeting. I called her for help. She was not 'scheduled' to visit that day.
"Hey, I need some cough medicine would you please pick some up for me?"
"Sure. What kind?"
"Just ask for cough suppressant"
"Ok, I will get it."
An hour later, she smiled into my place with some soup from her mom and cough syrup that literally tickled my brain after 30 minutes. I felt an actual finger in my cerebellum. It was hideous; that is besides the point.
The point is she drove 45 minutes, made at least two stops in the cold for me. I want to remember that always. When it is my turn to serve her, I want her to feel this blest.
